“. . .  I have had many conversations with Shelly regarding a possible in-licensing opportunity in which she was representing the licensor. I was very impressed with her skills and I am confident that she would be a great asset for anyone looking for a self-motivated, organized entrepreneur with excellent communication skills. During my interactions with Shelly, she has enthusiastically and clearly represented the licensor.”

". . .she was an invaluable resource for me when I was putting together the Spread the Word campaign event. She not only helped me get in touch with people that I knew I needed to coordinate with, but also she anticipated certain needs and put me in touch with people to meet those needs . . . She recognizes as a speaker that it is important to have movement in the room, especially about halfway through the class so she provides a great movement exercise which also incorporates a teaching methodology. . ."
